I do wish the First ticket machines would say 'First Class...' and not just 'First' as I think that's bound to be misleading for some people. Even if only a few people make the mistake, it's still wrong!
ISTR reading in a magazine about a staff brief sent out to ticket offices when First Group took over Great Western which said something along the lines of.....
"If a customer requests a first ticket you should ask if they mean a first class ticket, a First Great Western ticket, a ticket for the first train, a first class ticket for a First Great Western service, a ticket for the first First Great Western service, a first class ticket for the first service or a first class ticket for the first First Great Western service".
